Ingredients

  • 4 medium sized potatoes
  • 2 biggish sweet potatoes
  • 2 -3 tablespoons butter
  • 12 cup milk (can add more, if desired)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 lb lean ground beef or 12 lb ground lean pork
  • 4 -5 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 big tomatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 5 mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • parsley, to taste
  • salt and pepper, to taste (I use Fondor to enhance taste)
  • 1 cup water (can add more)

Method

  • The night before: Wash and boil the potatoes and sweet potatoes until soft (use a fork to test).
  • Drain and cool in cold water only so that they are cool enough to be held; they should now easily be peeled with a knife.
  • Mash them while hot and refrigerate.
  • Meanwhile, defrost the ground beef over night.
  • (I also defrost our blanched mushrooms).
  • The next day: Brown the defrosted ground beef.
  • Add chopped onions, peeled and diced tomato along with the sugar, chopped mushrooms, and minced garlic; stir on low heat.
  • When onions are browned and the mushrooms tender, stir in tomato paste and water.
  • Boil for a few minutes; add parsley, salt and pepper and taste.
  • Meanwhile, add butter, milk, salt and pepper to the puree, mix thoroughly and heat up in the microwave.
  • Serve sauce over the puree.
